It was the 1980s. It's always been notorious. Especially on the St Pete end. "Is somebody driving that car? I don't see anything but a white furry headrest."

Definitely the right course of action to tell him to pound sand. Not sure who his lawyer is but sounds like they are fishing for money because his insurance company certainly won't pay the bill when there is a reckless driving citation involved.

In this case, they are going after your insurance so your insurance company should defend you if it needs to.

Next time 3 way stop in a parking lot, I stop let the car go already sitting there, he starts to pull through, spikes the brakes for no apparent reason and then pulls through the intersection and flips me off ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?

LOL.. Yeah, it's still like that, except that there are more of them, and now we also have "the great equalizer", the cell phone, which makes anyone within arms reach of one drive like they're 90 years old.

Plus, I think people are getting dumber.

I got quite the laugh out of it Bill. I almost didnt go back but thought someone may have my lisc. number & the cops would hit me up for leaving the scene of an accident. I was still wiping my eyes when I got back there.

Called my legal rep, he said he would take care of it. Same thing, going to tell them to go pound sand!!

Well maybe you should ask the jerks attorney if you told the idiot in the Camaro to do what he did. Some of the worst places I've ever drove was Detroit, Atlanta, Columbus, Ohio, and Charlotte. Cleveland was no picnic either. To many idiots on the road these days, had a jerk pull out in front of me Thursday and for about a minute parked his truck across the road. Happens way to much everywhere these days. I think the prize in the Cracker Jack box these days is a license for people to get on the road and be stupid.

Too many cars on the roads now days.

your fault?

Seems everything needs to be assigned responsibility to someone else's insurance.

What a country.

Pop the hood on the Tempest and say "Racecar? Really?"

Point out the odometer as well while you're at it.

The interstate in Detroit is a racetrack, but the city wasn't bad when I was there. Tampa had decent drivers but the traffic is horrible.
